1573 Miles...A Holiday...and some new struts
 

Well just got back from a week visiting family on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. I decided to drive this year, long haul but definitely worth it once you see the roads on this island:eek:

Anyway, heres just a few pictures of what we went to see, although again the drive in the north of Scotlands mainland was truly epic! for which i've many photos, but i'll let you see for yourself as they really don't justify it

Great photos, very pink under there!

I'm still toiling over the Samco kit....really might be overkill lol

Wow rob , that scenery looks amazing :D and some lovely shots of the scoob against them back drops :D

Looks great Rob. That jaw bone is a monster!!!

The jawbone was from an 82ft blue whale, apparently their on average 75-100ft so not abnormally big, think its coated with some resin type stuff to preserve it. Just strange there isn't any on view like that anywhere else.

I could've taken more photos of the car, just was so coated in salt and crap it was shameful lol

Great pics mate, might have to make an excuse to drive up there!

Epic photos mate. Such amazing scenery in Scotland.
They used to have a whale jawbone like that on top of a hill in North Berwick just outside Edinburgh. They had to change it though because it was falling apart. Guess they didn'tytreat it which is a shame. They now have a replica.

Nice.

I took my scoob up to Scotland a few years back (Stirling, Loch Lomond, Glen Coe, Fort William areas) the roads are amazing.

The Lake district is another area I would recommend venturing out in the scoob. :norty:

The Fort William and Central areas do have some fantastic roads, I'd never driven really far up north before and have to say their so much better!!! I'm sure a certain club do a run up to the highlands once a year, I can definitely see why lol

Knotty no excuse needed, theres beaches a plenty if that helps persuasion lol, was certainly one of my bargaining tools
